[Apt-cacher-ng-users] Simultaneous retrieval not being cached?

Hi,
 Thanks for apt-cacher-ng. Works well when the file has been retrieved
completely.

However, if two or more clients are trying to request the same file at the
same time (as can happen when people are upgrading in an office)…it appears
that the partial file already downloaded is not being cached (possibly
because the in-memory retrieved file has not been added to the database
used for retrieval/filesystem)…I'm pretty sure this is happening as the
download bandwidth gets halved then goes to a third when simultaneously
upgrading packages…any chance someone who has looked at the code can quirky
confirm this?
Based on that it is either a bug or a feature request..

Regards,
Anshuman
